Today I did some plans for color field wall hanging. Oddly, because of two traumatic events, anything besides quilting, is approached with chaos. I believe it is because I knew I would fail so I might as well get it out of the way and fail at the start. I read a lot on colorContinue reading “Art, chaos, failure, win”

Afghanistan and Vietnam
I have had to take a break from the news. The fall of Afghanistan reminds me of the fall of Saigon. And it reminds me of my first suicide call. And it also reminds me of my bio mom and the second to last time I turned to her for comfort. It was a hotContinue reading “Afghanistan and Vietnam”
